Internship and Volunteer Opportunities

Employment

Our diverse staff brings a variety of backgrounds and experience to the classroom and overall Escuelita community. We are proud to have professional native Spanish speakers present in all of our classrooms, however this alone does not ensure a successful language immersion experience. Escuelita also strives to bring creative individuals who together, as a team, develop an enriching educational experience for each of our students.

If you think you would be an asset to our teaching team please submit your resume along with the employment application to our Director. From time to time we do need substitute teachers for both our morning and afternoon programs and this is a good way to become familiar with our unique teaching philosophy. 

We are always looking for highly-qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced teachers!
